With one arm of the Parel TT bridge, officially christened Sant Namdev Maharaj Flyover, now undergoing major revamp and concretisation, traffic between north and south Mumbai has been hit pretty hard. The flyover is a key connector in central Mumbai and plays a vital role in dispersing traffic between Parel, Dadar, and nearby areas.

The one open arm of the flyover is open to south-bound traffic till 4 pm, after which north-bound traffic gets the right of way. Meanwhile, one can see the spillover of traffic on the lanes under the flyover (on the right in the picture). Work on the ageing flyover is estimated to be over by the end of May, before the monsoon's advent.
